PRT slewing ring bearings


PRT slewing ring bearings are ready-to-install slewing rings for lubrication-free, dry operations. The design is not based on metal rollers or balls but on maintenance-free sliding elements made of the proven tribologically optimised iglidur® materials.
This is in combination with rings made of lightweight anodised aluminium or stainless steel. iglidur® materials can be employed universally and enable use in applications involving high temperatures, moisture or contact with chemicals, as well as in the food industry.

Frequently asked questions about slewing ring systems


Can I restrict the rotation of my slewing ring (PRT)?

Yes, of course. We have a couple of ways in which this can be achieved to any number of degrees. Our Angle limiter kit comprises of the limiter, a limiter stop and pin which all work externally and can be adjusted by yourself. This can be readjusted should the degree of rotation change for your application.

Can I have a slewing ring with multiple ‘home’ positions?

Yes, this is possible. In late 2021 we have released a product which uses a spring plunger to drop in to fixed location points as the slewing ring rotates. Favourites, and standards are 90, 180 and 240 as well as the 0 point.

I need a non-reflective PRT, is black anodising a possibility?

Yes it is and not only that, but we can offer it with black, self-lubricated liners, so the whole product is black in colour.

I’d like a different colour part as the silver stands out. Can you anodise black?

Yes, black along with other colours are available for anodising. There are other options to consider also.

Advantages of the iglidur® PRT slewing ring bearings

Cost-effective

Cost-effective

Manufacturing with injection moulding or 3D printing guarantees cost efficiency and creates the geometrical freedom to optimise use of installation space. Thanks to the flexible modular system, the slewing ring ball bearings can be extended as required. 

Lubrication and maintenance-free

Lubrication-free The iglidur® PRT slewing ring is designed as a ready-to-install solution, so it is ready to use straight away and requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. This saves time and reduces maintenance costs.

Up to 60% lighter

quiet

The iglidur® bearing technology impresses with ultra-light materials, such as plastic and aluminium. This enables you to achieve greater efficiency in your application. 

Quiet dry operation

Quiet operation for slewing ring bearing PRT
The igus® PRT slewing ring bearings with plastic sliding elements produce significantly less noise and vibrations. For you as an operator, plastic gears - for example in robots - lead to an application that is up to four times quieter.

Resistant to chemicals and media

Temperature
Suitable for the food industry (FDA) and for daily cleaning with cleaning agents and high pressure. PRT slewing ring bearings are also an ideal solution for special applications with high temperatures of up to 180°C or ESD.
The rings are made of plastic, aluminium or stainless steel.
 

Tested and proven

Icon tested Our in-house test stations are available for individual customer tests. We also test our slewing ring bearings daily for active research and development.
